bluehobbit Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Carlisle striker Shaun Miller has become the first player in English football to be retrospectively banned for diving. Anyone seen this? What do you think? Personally think its a bit harsh, to say the least. He collects possession in the box tries to control it and the opposition defender makes a bit of an untidy challenge which he kind of jumps out the way off - falls over, plays the ball when he's on the deck and carries on, doesn't even appeal the penalty.

cmr Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) Surpised the FA care about anything outside of the prem, doesn't make sense edit: just watched it and you're absolutely right, he isn't trying to dive and nobody is claiming anything, it's the referees mistake Edited October 20, 2017 by cmr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sums it up very well. The ref has dropped a bollock and he is being punished for it. Never a dive in a million years, neither Miller, nor any of his teammates, appeal for the penalty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll believe they are serious when they collar a star player from a top club. Should be a lot easier to do so given the myriad camera angles available.

mickjagger Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Shaun Miller deserves a long ban he got of light if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Whether he dived or not, diving is only a yellow card offence, isn't it? When is a player ever retrospectively banned for any other yellow card offence? The new rules where you get a two-match ban for avoiding a yellow card during the game seem completely out of kilter to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't have the balls to introduce a two match ban for simulation where the referee does book you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant believe that football teams havent broken away from the FA tbh, it wont be long until it gets seen for the shambles it is. And thats from top to bottom. Even the local Sunday League staff are backwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
